@DonkMagnum @IndridCold Not a fan of China, but it's sort of rich to demand non-interference when inferring some interference ourselves.

Maybe if China agrees to stop being a threat to Taiwan, stops interfering in our politics

Also this is rich:

builds some auto plants here to employ some Canadians,

So does that mean we will be basing our canola growers in China?

You forgot one thing, when OP has a bad take it is called "the correct opinion and the obvious stance expressed with freedom" when some else does (or has a good take that OP doesn't like) it's called bots interfering in our politics.

lol. Do you really think the economic impact of our canola industry is on par with the potential impact Chinese EVs? It's a ridiculous notion.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Is it? Have you run the numbers?

Just think about the amount of land in Canada dedicated to growing canola vs the amount dedicated to building EVs. Or the number of people employed, for that matter.

@DonkMagnum No, I do not.

But it does beg the question why you didn't lead with that instead of your cute grandstanding initial comment.
